Question 5 A population of healthy people over the year of age 50 to 51 is subject to a constant force of decrement due to sickness of 0.08 per annum, and a constant force of mortality of 0.002 per annum. Assume that a double decrement model is used. (a) Calculate the probability that a healthy person aged exactly 50 will still be healthy at exact age 51. (b) Calculate the probability that a healthy person aged exactly 50 will die due to any cause other than from sickness before exact age 51. (c) Calculate the independent probability of a life aged exactly 50 dying before exact age 51.

Question 5
A population of healthy people over the year of age 50 to
51 is subject to a constant force of decrement due to sickness of 0.08 per annum, and a
constant force of mortality of 0.002 per annum. Assume that a double decrement
model is used.
(a) Calculate the probability that a healthy person aged exactly 50 will still be
healthy at exact age 51.
(b) Calculate the probability that a healthy person aged exactly 50 will die due to
any cause other than from sickness before exact age 51.
(c) Calculate the independent probability of a life aged exactly 50 dying before
exact age 51.
